Do I have vitiligo?

Hi All,

A few weeks back I developed a dry patch of skin just above my left eyebrow. I paid no mind to it at all and just put it down to a lack of moisturising, mixed with intense heat here in the UK.

However, as the patch cleared up, I noticed the skin on the area had turned a MUCH lighter shade than my surrounding skin, which had darkened a bit due to sub exposure. This patch has no been here for about a month!File size is too big

Please see the photo, but keep in mind that the lighting is not reflecting how different the shade actually is. It is noticeable to me everyone I look in the mirror.

Is this vitiligo?

Many thanks for all and any assistance.

Shaun
